A nice surprise making for a fine end to the month with 8cm of snow on the ground and colder conditions.

I can just about justify another 1cm in this report.

The 1cm that I am reporting today is from yesterday. (It has been long gone by now).

A lovely morning it is, too, and once I post this report I'm going to quickly get out there and hit the slopes. Yey.

It is an improved picture this morning with a lot of cloud and some patches of blue sky and hints of sun.

Golly, what a lovely surprise again!

This morning I have another 6cm to report and, once again, Hirafu reporting up to 20cm at higher elevations.

Some more fresh snow again with the ski areas (that report) reporting up to 15-20cm.

We have received a lovely layer of fresh snow.

It is not particularly cold, but we have some fresh snow this morning! Hurray!

Not the most inspiring of mornings with warm temperatures and rain.

As I write this it is now snowing in some places, though the sun is shining through in others (Hanazono).

There's some more snow to report this morning, yey!

It might not be particularly cold this morning but as I write this there is some nice snow falling from the skies.
